Naismith Award Midseason Top 30 List released

mcdermott

The Naismith Award has released their Midseason Top 30 list.

The Naismith Award is one of college basketball’s Player of the Year awards. At first glance, the list looks pretty solid, as they included Lamar Patterson, Sean Kilpatrick and Xavier Thames, which the Wooden Award did not do.

But in reality, who is on the list doesn’t really matter. Doug McDermott is going to win the away. Everyone else is just competing for second place.
